Château Troplong Mondot is amongst the finest producers in St-Émilion. A stellar vintage, awarded 100 Robert Parker points, the 2005 vintage is 90% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc. Drinking beautifully now, expect luscious black fruits with chocolate and liquorice complexity.

The 2005 Troplong Mondot is deep garnet, with a touch of brick, in color. It storms out of the glass with powerful notes of plum pudding, black cherry preserves, and blueberry pie, giving way to hints of mint tea, unsmoked cigars, and star anise, with a touch of fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is dense and muscular, with loads of savory layers and a very firm, grainy texture, finishing with a refreshing mineral burst. It could use a few more years in bottle.Lisa Perrotti-Brown15th February 2024

97 Vinous
The 2005 Troplong Mondot is a heady, sumptuous beauty. Sweet black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol all open in the glass. Hedonistic and opulent to the core, the 2005 is a decidedly exuberant Saint-Émilion. I would open it a few hours in advance, as aeration helps soften some of the initial flamboyance. The 2005 is a gorgeous, captivating wine. It is modern Saint-Émilion at its finest. Moreover, it does not appear to have lost much, if anything, since the last time I tasted it a few years ago!Antonio Galloni1st April 2021

Still young, just about bricking around the edges and starting to give up its secrets - bright ruby red, softening around the rim to show gentle tawny. Waves of fresh acidity with generous brambled fruit that melts into the tannins, this shows dried herbs, truffles, incense, layered, black chocolate, espresso, tar and campfire. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant. Served out of magnum (last tasted out of bottle in 2022).Jane Anson12th June 2025
